Who is my U.S. representative in TX-16?
Your current U.S. representative for TX-16 is Democrat Veronica Escobar, whose district includes almost all of El Paso and most of its suburbs. Wikipedia A couple of things worth noting: Texas redrew its congressional maps in a mid-decade redistricting effort — the Texas Legislature passed a new congressional map in August 2025, and Gov. Greg Abbott signed it into law on August 29, 2025. However, a three-judge federal panel ruled 2-1 on November 18, 2025 to block Texas from using that new map for 2026, ordering the state to use the 2021 map instead — so the map litigation has been in flux. Ballotpedia Ballotpedia All U.S. House districts, including TX-16, are holding elections in 2026, with primaries held March 3, 2026, a primary runoff May 26, 2026, and the general election on November 3, 2026. Ballotpedia So Escobar is the current sitting representative, but depending on how the redistricting litigation shakes out and the outcome of the 2026 election, that could change. If you want, I can dig into where the legal fight over the map currently stands.
